Øivind Sjøvoll is a mainstay of the Tromsø electronica scene, and confirms his relevance once again with a strong package on the Mellom label under his new moniker Ransel - an output for his more club oriented music. Whether performing on stage, locked in the studio or managing local venues, Sjøvoll has through various aliases and projects been a driving force in the rise of electronic music in Norway since the early 00s. He was brought up on a mix of prog and marching bands and loves everything from house music to Balearic. He uses an array of analog gear when producing that gives his sounds an authentic edge. Whatever genre he makes, he does so with irresistible depth and rawness and these new tunes are markedly primed and ready for good times on the dance floor.
